1890 King of Southeast Asia

Liu Yiming is actively preparing for the electrical age. Every industrial revolution is a huge leap forward. In the second industrial revolution, Japan and Germany rose up and had the opportunity to compete with the old world hegemons. In the early stage of the second industrial revolution, the threshold was very low. The first industrial revolution was accumulation, the second industrial revolution was consolidation, and the third industrial revolution was an outbreak. In the third industrial revolution, only one country completed the miracle, and that was also the result of several generations of suffering for more than ten generations.

Now there is an opportunity. The second industrial revolution will usher in a climax in fourteen years. Now we can take advantage of the foresight and the information in our heads to reap the dividends.

This is a small industrial system, very small, because there are not so many people to operate these machines. Even if all the positions that do not require thinking and will not make mistakes are handed over to the natives, the talent gap is still very large. Liu Yiming is considering absorbing immigrants. There are still many immigrants in recent years. It is just that in terms of selection, Surabaya ranks very far behind, and there is no way for the time being. However, once the flag is out and the Dutch are defeated, there will be no problem.

Henry gave a preferential price for these equipments, which cost two million in total. There was still a balance of more than 200,000 yuan to be paid, in addition to the technicians' wages, the instructors' wages, the technology transfer negotiations, etc.

Liu Yiming also planned to send a large number of students abroad. Now Sishui was in urgent need of people, and it was impossible to send adults away, so he took an exam to select 500 children aged 10-14 from more than 20,000 children, with boys and girls roughly half and half. There were only so many children, and there were only 500 children with healthy limbs and normal minds. They were not eligible to choose gender, and all were sent to Europe and the United States to study at public expense. The annual expenditure was about 200,000 pounds, and tuition fees accounted for the majority.

The money for purchasing equipment, hiring technicians, and studying abroad at public expense was still collected by each family. Liu Yiming discussed that this money was considered a debt of the autonomous government. The debt certificate had been printed, and the interest was paid according to the international tax rate, 3% per year. In fact, it was a national debt.

After the national debt certificate was issued, each family took it back to deal with it. Some people were a little irritable and simply burned it, saying that they had to make money from doing this, which was insulting. Some people framed it and boasted to their grandchildren. But no one thought that the money was borrowed.

Liu Yiming knew that he had to borrow money to develop. This was not a solution. He had to get some income for the government. However, the tax revenue was so limited. The industrial zone was still losing money. He could not collect taxes. There were more than 500,000 people in Surabaya, including more than 200,000 Chinese. However, Liu Yiming was not Dutch. He could not support the army just by collecting taxes. Liu Yiming found sadly that the army was not supported by the government, but by the Chinese in Surabaya.

As for the 300,000 natives, it would be good to have 30 rich people. A large number of natives had African personalities. It sounded good to say that they would drink and live happily. It sounded bad to say that they would not think about making money until they had enough money and were hungry.

"When all these equipment are put into production, we will counterattack Batavia. By then, we can establish a Chinese regime!" Liu Yiming said to Shunde beside him.

Shunde was not good at speaking. He had only learned a few days of Chinese characters and could not say any great truths.

"Master, by then no one will dare to bully us, right?" There was some disbelief and expectation in his words.

"This world is like a forest, with all kinds of animals living in it. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, wolves eat meat, and dogs eat shit, just like people. Big countries bully small countries, strong countries annex weak countries. Weakness is not the original sin, but the weak have no ability to stop the crimes of the strong."

"Unbalanced, war will never stop, so we can't stop in Batavia, we have to become stronger. We have a battleship, the Dutch will negotiate with us, but they will buy two battleships to destroy us."

"We have five battleships, and the British will send a fleet to fight us!"

"We have ten battleships, the British will restrict us, blockade us, and isolate us, but they won't take action!"

"We have thirty or even more battleships, the British will cooperate with us, regard us as allies, and also support the countries around us." Liu Yiming looked into the distance and said

"When can we stabilize?" Shunde didn't quite understand, but seemed to understand a little, and asked naively.

"Is it stable?" Liu Yiming thought about the location of Indonesia. To the west is Malacca, to the southeast is Oceania, and to the north is the Philippines. Stable is difficult.

"The British support us now because they hope we won't let the Dutch idle. We are the stick in their hands to muddy the water of the Dutch East Indies. But once there is a sign of threat to it, it's time for it to mess with us. At that time, it will support our enemies in the same way as it supports us." Liu Yiming said to himself.

"But it will never think of how fast science and technology will develop in the next few decades."

Liu Yiming turned his head and said to Shunde.

"There is no stable time, never."

Liu Yiming thought of the words that he once thought were unreasonable, "We are not born in a peaceful era, we are just born in a peaceful country!"

Thinking that even if a nuclear balance is formed in the future, the open and secret struggles will continue, from the hot African continent to the Middle East, to Southeast Asia, to South America, to Mexico, there will still be wars, Liu Yiming feels lucky.

It's ridiculous that some people think Mexico is free. Ask them if they are free? His dream was to become a firefighter, but due to financial difficulties, he joined a Mexican gang and started selling white powder.

"Well, go back." Liu Yiming turned around and took the guards. Since the formal establishment of the regime, after the army was established, Liu Yiming made formalization, mainly because he was afraid of death.

The brigade may have a guard class, the head of the head of the regiment, and the battalion commander.

…………………………

Liu Yiming began to think about how to do money. Now there is no problem. He can support the entire Chinese group to buy government bonds, but you have to consider the future and issue a government debt. If you cannot transfer your debts, then the country will collapse sooner or later.

Liu Yiming found in the data machine, and he could make a lot of money, but he needed to operate well instead of changing gold out of thin air.

Thinking of gold, Liu Yiming thought of the reason why he crossed him, sinking!

"I almost forgot ..."

The next day, Liu Yiming took a recruit to go out of the city and went straight to the bay he crossed.

The Gulf Sea Road is only dozens of nautical miles away from Surabaya port, but in this uns development era, many places have no way.

Liu Yiming spent a whole day and took people to the coastline. However, I could n’t find that bay after finding it for a day. There were too many cliffs on the seaside, dense trees, and it was difficult to see the whole picture, and there were too many similar terrain. After looking for another three days, there were more than 20 goals. After marking one by one, Liu Yiming took people back.

It took only a long time to go back and found two merchant ships. Liu Yiming was going to try it from the sea to check more than 20 suspected targets.

Because it was due to the afternoon, it was definitely impossible to leave that day. Liu Yiming simply went home to sleep. As for the government affairs, he was re -left to the government affairs department and asked Chen Jiangtao to deal with them. There will be no problems with logistics.

Liu Yiming returned home, just happened to Liu Wanhua.

"Father, don't you go to work today?" Liu Yiming doubted, Liu Wanhua ran to the police office every day before, and he didn't go home in the sky. Now it is still early, so he returned earlier.

"I heard people say that you are back. I have something to tell you about it." Liu Wanhua stood up and rubbed his fingers, walking back and forth a little nervously.

Liu Yiming waited for a long time and did not wait for the following, the sleepiness came, and he had some temper.

"Father, if it wasn't for anything, can you wait for me to sleep first?"

"Oh? Don't panic, let me say first."

Liu Wanhua organized a language.

"Do you remember that when you were a child, he took you to the old cousin's house of Sanbao Roman."

Liu Yiming remembered it, but the sleepy struck was not coming, and it was not personal experience. The head he thought was big or not impressed.

"Father, you said straight, it's too long, can't remember!"

Father Liu topped his chest.

"Then I said straight for the father. That year, you were six years old. When you went to the three treasures to deal with business for your father, you followed and lived in your cousin's house."

"At that time, my father was drunk with your cousin, and I made a misunderstanding.

Liu Wanhua said slowly.

"Dad, continue, I listen."

Liu Yiming heard his cousin, uncle, and dad. He sat down and drank a cup of tea and listened slowly.

Seeing Liu Yiming like this, Liu Wanhua was a little angry.

"Your father and your uncle Bing released suspicion at that time. As soon as you were drunk, he had left you a daughter -in -law. Dads have been young in these years, and you haven’t told you. Now you are the boss. It's so dangerous, it's time to consider lifelong events.

Puff ~ cough ~ cough ~ cough ~ Liu Yiming sipped her throat. Cough while spraying!

Liu Wanhua quickly patted Liu Yiming's back, and calmed down after a while.

"Dad, is someone in contacting you? Otherwise, you won't tell me." Liu Yiming, who was calm, poked his father mercilessly.

"Hey! What is it that people contact me? This is not the two of you have a marriage contract, and they are not small. You don't really say. Where is Zhang Kou waiting for, it is eighteen right away. "

Liu Yiming originally wanted to get angry, but it was not so impulsive to have a cough. The current society is like this. Parents' covenant, media words, are settled. The door is right.
